The HP W2072a 20-inch LED Backlit LCD Monitor combines flawless form and high-quality viewing at an affordable price all with the environment in mind. Its thin design, with integrated speakers and simple plug and play connectivity, complements any HP desktop without sacrificing space.

The monitor lowers the volume on music. For those of us who like it loud, you have to purchase separate power speakers. My old (8yrs old) monitor played music as loud as I wanted. No additional speakers were required.

I find the adjustments to brightness & contrast very poor. The speaker sound is "tinny". I'm not pleased at all with my item. It also gave very poor instructions for using & had to get help from a neighbor how to make any adjustments.

The product was easy to setup and has a great display. I definitely wanted a larger screen size and a monitor with built in speakers. The larger display is great but unfortunately I am disappointed in the sound quality of the speakers... kinda "tinny". I wasn't expecting top quality sound but my old monitor, which had an add on speaker bar, was significantly better. I use it to play music while I'm working on the computer and it's definitley of inferior quality.

The monitor turned on for about 3 minutes and then it went off. I could not get it to turn on again. I haven't had a chance to call HP yet to figure out how to get it fixed. This is the type of situation you don't want with a new PC!

The monitor was a perfect fit for my daughter's desk. The image is good, however the audio from the speakers is fair. If you want full range sound you should aquire a set of external speakers for your system.

This monitor is very comfortable to look at for long periods of time, and it's bigger than my old one so I like that too. I also like the way it goes to sleep when not in use. I'm still learning how to adjust it because it has a lot of ways to do that. When I want to move it, it is so light it's easy to slide around. I'm a very happy customer.

Why is this new rectangular monitor shape the only thing to choose from lately? It makes everything on my screen short and fat and is a waste of desk space. I know I can bring the sides of the screen in to provide a more square image, but what's the point when I should just be able to buy a square monitor! These new, rectangular, waste-of-space monitors are awful. I returned mine.

I had been stumbling along with a 17" monitor for years. It was "The Thing" when it came out. My daughter hit it with a bean bag and a few lines went out. I couldn't take it any more and decided to go for a new one. There is a HUGE difference! The screen is obviously bigger, but the graphics are clear and crisp. I am very happy with this monitor. It is used for home computing and I don't need a 40" screen. This one is perfect. HP has come through again.

This product provides the performance I require in my home office. I was very happy to find a monitor that had speakers in it. I do not listen to music or watch television programs on my computer, so I didn't need great sound performance. Please keep making this type monitor for uses like me.

How simple can it get?? Pull it out of the box, simple assembly, plug it in and turn it on, and add the drivers. Very nice visuals with no pixel failure. The computer is happy and I am very HAPPY!!! I did not use the speakers however. I use this monitor for general programs and the internet.

I chose an upgraded graphics card only to find that this monitor only has VGA/DVI ports. It also only comes with a VGA cable, which my upgraded graphics card does not support. Would be nice to get with the current technology and allow for HDMI input.

The monitor was shipped weeks ahead of the desktop. It came only with a VGA cable (without adapter). I replaced it with a DVI to DVI cable although the package of the desktop included an adapter for a VGA to DVI connection. I prefer using the DVI to DVI cable.

Good product, good price. Only feature I can't get to work correctly is the color adjustment, color is more yellow than I like. Very good image quality. Sound is terrible, same problem with the HPvs17 I replaced with this one, never could get it loud enough. I bought external speakers and unplugged the little green thingy. All in all, a good product.

This is my very first flat-screen monitor and I feel so modern and hip. I am partially blind and the visual quality is excellent. I can see this monitor so much better than my old one. It also is set at a lower height and the pains in my shoulders and neck have ceased. I am a very satisfied customer.

I bought this monitor back in November on black friday during the sales . When I got the monitor i loved its lightweight design and setup was very easy. All in all great buy i havent however tried out the intergrated speakers due to mix reviews and i bought hp 2.0 compact speakers which i will review next. Ironically there were mix reviews with the speakers but they are great so im pretty sure the same can be said with the monitors speakers

The price was right, the on-the-phone sales person was helpful, the ordering was a breeze and the monitor is "humming" away at this moment - it's great to have a second monitor! Setup was easy and the monitor will come in very handy as it can be used to show tutorials on one screen while the program I'm learning is on the other screen - no more "alt-tabbing"...! Thank you HP for a good and useful product!

The only reason why I needed a new monitor was because my new graphics card sometimes caused problems for my old monitor. This monitor was a bit of a downgrade for me. I was used to a 1280 x 1024 resolution on only a 17-inch display, and I was able to view much more of a page without scrolling. Now, I can't see all of my folders in Outlook or WinExplorer anymore, so I have to scroll down just to check if I have new email. I also wish it had a faster refresh rate than 60 Hz, but I guess you get what you pay for. One thing I can't knock is how bright the display is...it's so bright, it hurts my eyes, so I had to turn it down quite a bit.

This monitor is Great.. The only thing it needs to receive an Excellant rating from me is plug in for ear phones and easier volumn control. I now have to plug in separate speakers with earphone jack and volume control...

So far so good! It took me about 10 minutes to remove my old monitor and hook up the new one. I surprised myself because the directions taped to the monitor were just pictures. It has only been 1/2 an hour since set up but I am very pleased so far.

Price was very attractive. Product was fine, just not good for graphics. With common home viewing such as online video, the graphics tended to be fuzzier than my 3 year old flat screen monitor. The width was good, just needed a taller picture. Decided right away I need a 23 or 24" monitor with better graphics. Also sits too low for proper ergonomics (for me, average height). If you get it, know you are getting what you pay for and factor in a monitor stand for better viewing. I don't know if a DVI cord would have made a difference (or not).

I am not impressed by the clarity and sharpness of the picture on this monitor. I have a 5 year old hp monitor that is much clearer and the picture is more sharp than this new one. I purchased a new computer and bought this monitor for it but I use my old monitor with it instead.

I needed a monitor that fit within a defined, small area. It's measurement and built in speakers provided that. In addition the screen gives a pleasant and accurate display in both colors and clarity & it's cost was exactly within my budget.

Pro's - very sharp picture, easy setup, controls are easy to use, good color. Con's- built-in speakers, but I did not buy this monitor for its speakers and to be fair most monitors with built-in speakers have limited range. Viewing angle important for viewing black backgrounds, blacks are blacker when monitor is positioned at eye level.

Monitor did work fine, but it seemed to sit lower (shorter stand?) than my old monitor, so not as comfortable. Also, though it had adjustment buttons along the bottom edge, they were too complicatred to use easily, and the monitor came with no instructions to adjust features and use the buttons. I returned it.

When i thought 20 inch monitor i though small and light. This monitor is very big. Much bigger than expected. It takes up the entire back of my desk. It isnt super high performance but the colour range is good and and sharp.

Unless you are looking straight on, you will not be able to see the picture on the screen. Even straight on, there is a lot of glare, and if you move 4 inches in any direction and the picture is unviewable. Because of this distortion, I need to raise the monitor height a few inches on my desktop, and I have the monitor sitting on some books. Sound is tinny, speakers are on the back, and the maximum volume is low.

You can't really beat the monitor for the price HP is selling it for. The video performance is as good as any. The speakers are fine for general sound but not if you want to play music. I have external speakers so That is not an issue. Overall, I am extremely happy with tis unit.

I chose this monitor mostly because I like its appearance. Before I purchased, I compared monitors that were on display at a brick and mortar store. Delivery was prompt and the price was reasonable. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my purchase.

I installed it right away as a replacement for a unit that had failed. I start the monitor first and then turn on the computer. During the startup the bottom third of monitor turns totally white for a short period. Most importantly, while using Hotmail, when I use the spell check feature the email disappears from about the same one third of the bottom of the monitor screen as above and then it takes as much as thirty to forty-five seconds to reappear. I never have seen either of these two things happen before, including from the monitor it replaced.. Also the right side molding cuts off about one third of the close button and scroll bar.

The screen is very good. It should handle anything you send to it. The built in speakers are less than good. That is usually not a problem for most people. Use external speakers if you want the home stereo sound. Overall, a very good monitor.

Before ordering I chatted with a HP tech rep and asked whether the monitor would work on an old tower Dell machine. A VGA connection was all that was needed and the old Dell had one. The machine came today; well packaged, easy to assemble (2 leg parts), simple to connect. It was like going from a 4:3 TV to a 12:7; the screen stretches everything but I'll get used to it and while I do I will enjoy the fine colors.

This monitor is very nice, efficient and convenient. I got it at a great price (clearance), and I believe its worth every penny. All is great about this monitor except, I don't like how the built in speakers are very low. I had a previous old version hp monitor with the speakers visible at the front, and that was loud, and desirable, but not this baby. Overall, a great product, length and width is just what the doctor ordered, and I belive it will serves me well, for many years to come. P.S. Please buy additional speakers if you listen to music alot from your pc, I sincerely intend to do so very soon.

Bet you won't use this is your reviews because I have always has faith in HP. That said, I ordered this monitor for my HP computer. It was suppose to be compatible. It would not work with my HP computer. The resolution could not be righted even with the help of a tech. Will stay with my old X brand monitor.

I have a HP 2009m and a HP 2010i and this monitor I just bought does not in any way come up to what those 2 are and I sent it back I would buy another one like one of those if I could get one. you took a nose dive with the quality that the first 2 had I am sorry . W2072a just don't get it . Jimmy

The screen is very nice, easy setup, clear and crisp. I use the screen for work, so I am on it all day. I have only had it for a couple weeks, so cannot speak to durability. My only complaint is the speakers. They are so low in volume, it makes them almost worthless. But, I bought it for the screen and I am very happy with the purchase.

Needed a wide screen for new at home job with split screen. This one was inexpensive and good quality. Just plugged in and was ready to go. Delivery was very fast. Just a couple of days. Have used the HP on line store in the past. We get discounts from the company we work for to order from HP so the price is great compared to the local stores for the same product.

I ordered two of these and created a little Game Room at my place; they have delivered perfectly! These displays are sleek, very slim and stylish looking, while the picture is a lot sharper and bigger than even the biggest of laptops can provide. Though it was super cool to find that the monitors have built-in speakers, it turns out these are no bigger/better than the one small speaker found on my HP laptops, so that one kind of ended up useless for me...I still use them. Ports on the back are minimal too, consisting of only two diff. display ports, plus the power plug and 3.5mm audio jack. It has holes on back for wall mounting but the cables go in perpendicular to a wall so any bracket holding this on a wall would have to yield at least an inch of additional room. Overall, these displays are really cool and for anyone out there not having any LCD monitors, just buy these if you've got the extra flo, the value is really good and unique, and you'll be glad you did. Go HP! Great product here...

Is this the world's best monitor? No...but considering the bundled price, it's scares the heck out of excellent! This is part of a PC I purchased for a family suddenly in possession of 6 kids (8 to 17) to raise. I set up a profile and email for each of them and their grand parents. Plenty of room on the hard drive and plenty of raw power for a little fun and a whole lot of school work. The monitor has built-in speakers and a small footprint and has a very good display. Works great for young eyes and old ones too.

This monitor handles colors and graphics (characters) quite well. It was plug and play on my one year old HP desk top. It's much thinner and lighter than my older more square monitor, and it generates a lot less heat and is more energy efficent. The wide screen is so much better than my old square screen monitor.

I bought this monitor here on our local retail store in PH for only Php 4375.00 This is the cheapest 20" LED Monitor I'd seen. So i grab it. Its performance is good though im using this in gaming and browsing purpose. This is a Bang for the Buck Monitor! =)
